That would probably be for connecting alarm inputs/outputs; not useful for exporting video and data.

 

If there's no burner, no USB, no firewire, no network... your only option for exporting video will probably be to connect some other kind of recorder to the video output (where you connect your monitor), then start recording on that while you play back the video you want on the DVR.

try a VHS to dvd converter but instead of plugging a VHS in, plug the output of your dvr in. find the incident, press record on the dvd thing and play it back.

 

not ideal but will work

I would bet what you have is not a DVR. I'll bet its a quad processor or a multiplexer.

Hi sounds like an old dvr that also needed a VCR to do the backup.

 

you can either replace your unit or buy one of these just plug direct into VCR out on your DVR and plug via usb into windows or mac pc to do the backup.

use the monitor output plugged into a capture card on a PC (or another DVR with USB/Lan) and record what you playback.

the old cheap DVRs sucked back in the day, they were terrible for evidence sharing.
